Investigators are looking for a car that might be connected to the killing of a handyman in Prairie Township last week.

Franklin County sheriff’s detectives have released surveillance images of a white four-door midsize sedan with a sunroof turning onto Oxley Road from W. Broad Street about 2 a.m. on July 17.

That was right before William D. Keen was shot and killed in front of 133 Oxley Rd. Keen, 49, was found dead just after 6 a.m.

He was house-sitting for the owner at 5012 Palmetto St., where he had done renovation work. Sheriff Zach Scott said at the time that Keen might have interrupted a burglary at the house when he was shot.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the car is asked to call the detective bureau at 614-525-3351.
